Mike Essick

A star for @Ozark_Baseball, @LucasHarrell34 pitched the Tigers to the Class 3 state championship in 2004. Weeks later, he was drafted in the fourth round by the @whitesox and eventually made his big-league debut on July 30, 2010. Harrell then pitched seven seasons in the big leagues, with the White Sox (2010-2011), Houston Astros (2011-2014), the Atlanta Braves (2016), the Texas Rangers (2016) and Toronto Blue Jays (2017). He pitched 455 innings, striking out 310 batters, and won 21 games. He was an 11-game winner for the Astros in 2012, starting 32 games and pitching almost 194 innings. That season, he struck out 140 batters and issued 78 walks. He led the team in innings pitched, strikeouts, wins and least home runs allowed. Because of his 57.2 percent ground-ball percentage, FanGraphs once dubbed him the “Astros Sinkerballer Supreme.” Harrell later pitched in Korea.
